20 Nov 24 - 04:09 PM (#4212033) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Frog and the Crow From: Joe Offer Great song, Gargoyle! I'm stumped trying to find who sang the song on April 19, 2021 at the Mudcat Singaround. I can't find my Zoom chat records from 2021. I find 2020 and 2022, though. Gee, you sure gave me a lot of links to blickify. -Joe- Here's the entry from the Traditional Ballad Index: Frog and the Crow, TheDESCRIPTION: "A (funny/jolly) fat frog lived in the river," and a crow suggests it come ashore. The frog says it will bite him. The crow replies that there is sweet music and a dance. The frog leaves the river and, just before it is eaten, asks where the dance is.AUTHOR: unknown EARLIEST DATE: 1851 (Notes & Querries, as "The Frog and the Crow of Ennow") KEYWORDS: animal bird food trick FOUND IN: US(Ap) REFERENCES (1 citation): Boette-SingaHipsyDoodle, p. 95, "Frog and Crow" (1 text, 1 tune) Roud #7520 ALTERNATE TITLES: The Frog and the Crow of Ennow NOTES [26 words]: Chaunticleer, meet Fox. This is very much like Chaucer's Nun's Priest's Tale, except without the happy ending.
